Ever been in a puzzle room where you spend an hour trying to crack codes and decipher cryptic messages, only to discover the instruction manual explaining how everything works was taped under the chair you’ve been sitting on the whole time? That sort of describes how the current AMT constitution treats the notice requirements (the framework for how AMT communicates with members). At the moment, these provisions are buried at the end, despite containing the basic rules for how most of the other rules function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is why we would like to move the notice provisions up front and centre, establishing communication fundamentals before describing all the processes that depend on them. We’re also removing outdated elements (hello again fax machines, farewell the good old days when Australia Post could manage next day delivery!) and adding all the funky digital alternatives that actually reflect how AMT operates in 2025, not 1995.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All AMT members are welcome to attend. Please register here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Unable to attend but still want to exercise your democratic right? Complete a proxy voting form<\/a> and return it to AMT Head Office<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is Episode 7 in our blockbuster blog bonanza “21 Resolutions in 21 Days”, exploring the cases for constitutional change that will be considered at the upcoming Special General Meeting on October 19. Each change is designed to strengthen AMT’s governance and better serve members.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tomorrow:<\/strong> When political correctness hasn’t gone mad but is actually rather sound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dr. Lao rides a golden donkey (implied to be The Golden Ass of Apuleius) into the small town of Abalone, Arizona and visits Edward Cunningham’s newspaper to place a large advertisement for his traveling circus, which will play for two nights only. Though quiet, Abalone is not peaceful. Wealthy rancher Clinton Stark has inside information that a railroad is coming to town and plans to buy the entire town while the land is cheap.<\/p>\n This is episode of our blogbuster series on the AMT Constitution.
